Mistletoe & Wine - because its an ear worm to me.
I believe in Father Xmas - Greg Lake (I hate the line "The Xmas we get we deserve." just not true)

Ooh forgot about 2000 miles,love that

David Essex is full on gorge in that video, striding around like heathcliff.

A Lonely Pup in a Christmas Shop - just no.

I loathe that bastard pogues song.

Quite like a bit of Bing singing White Christmas though

HATE fairy tale in New York with a passion

Love All I want for Xmas - Mariah Carey

Best: all I want for Christmas

• Stop the cavalry (gotta love a Xmas song that references the nuclear fall out zone)
• Merry Christmas everyone (or, to call it correctly, merry Christmas up your bum)
• war is over

- Xmas baby please come home - merry Xmas everybody (think this one sounds quite wistful actually)

Worst: that shit Chris de bug thing about a spaceman going lalala

• mistletoe and w(h)ine

Absolute fave though is Drinking white win in the sun

wine

All, I love them all. Maybe if I had to pick one to dislike then it would be Feliz navidad! I still sing along though....... I wanna wish you a merry Christmas [santa]

That Christmas dirge by Paul McCartney! Awful song.
All I want is a fab song! Mariah must love Christmas for the royalties alone.

Oh forgot Elvis and Wizard love them.

Best: Maybe this Christmas by Tracey Thorn. From her excellent Tinsel and Lights album

Worst: Driving Home for Christmas. Chris Rea makes me feel slightly ill

*Best
*
Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt
Jingle bell rock
Do they know it's Christmas

Worst

Anything by Cliff Richards

Best:
Winter's tale, even though it's a sad song.
Candlelight Carol - beautiful.
See Amid the Winter's Snow.
I would like a Spaceman came travelling, but it's not "it was light years of time that his mission did start" - everyone knows a light year is distance!

Worst:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, especially the slow version.
Santa Claus is coming to town - every kind of creepy. "For goodness' sake" was a forbidden phrase in my childhood!
Last Christmas I gave you my heart...
So here it is, merry Christmas, especially that screeched line "it's Chriiiistmas!"
Mistletoe and Wine - I once took part in a panto that had a very long scene setup with this song, which we had to keep rehearsing again and again, so I kept hearing the song again and again.
Cat Carol: although it's quite pretty, it's the saddest song ever, which claims to have to have a happy ending, but it really doesn't. Don't Google it unless you're prepared to cry real tears, especially if you love cats!
Two other sad ones are little boy that Santa Claus forgot, and Christmas Shoes.
Any song which mentions the word "Christmas" too many times.

Best: Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie
Worst : war is over - John lennon

I've been known to walk out of shops when war is over comes on. Yoko Ono's screaching just kills me (and I'm no beatles fan by any stretch of the imagination).

I'm due to give birth at Xmas. I keep telling DP that I want Mistletoe and Wine playing whilst I'm in labour (he detests that song)

Wombling merry Christmas is on in my car every year, it's a classic
Proper crimbo (selecta!), South park Christmas songs, our family are so classy
Also the rat pack, all on the same playlist (was a cd in the olden days).
Never Chris Rea, he offends my ears.

Christmas wrapping
Step in to Christmas

My favourites!
